Hats In The Ring: Vance for D.A., Liu for Comptroller

March 9, 2009

A couple of candidates for local office are stepping up this week: Cyrus Vance Jr. — aka Cy Vance — is announcing for Manhattan D.A. at City Hall as we write. He is expected to face Dan Castleman and Lesley Crocker Snyder, who starts the battle early by telling the Post, “While I was in New York for my entire career in the New York City justice system, he spent 20 years practicing law in Seattle,” though Vance did serve briefly in the Manhattan D.A.’s office before moving west, where he practiced and taught law and served as a Special Assistant Attorney General before returning to New York in 2004.
